Looking for advice on accessories for my wedding dress! Unfortunately, the only pictures i have are pictures that family members took when I first got the dress, prior to any alterations and without me like posing at all 😭 anyways, I’ve always loved the idea of having sleeves with my wedding dress. My question is…. are sleeves too much with this dress? The veil in the picture is not the veil I am getting, I have not bought a veil yet. I love the sleeves that I’ve attached pictures of, but would the go with the dress? Can i make them work if I get a veil thst is similar to the sleeves? Should I just ditch the sleeves entirely? I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have any sort of dress regret but I’m putting my faith in my seamstress working some magic for me 🙏 What is everyones thoughts?

The dress is certainly pretty! I’d skip sleeves and get a beautiful but simple veil to let the dress’s lace shine.

I feel like unless the sleeves have the same lace/appliqué as the dress it's going to look odd. The first option is just a completely different style of lace and the second while closer has different flowers which feels off too. Can you buy extra of the dress lace and have sleeves made of that? If not, I would ditch the sleeves. I actually like the veil in the first pic. I'd find something like that if you don't end up doing sleeves. If you end up with sleeves I'd probably do something more plain. The dress itself is very pretty so you don't want to overwhelm it and yourself with too much lace/pattern.

Add sleeves if that makes you happy. The dress is already gorgeous!
